As has happened countless times with recent news, the weight of the world and heartbreak has felt so present. Sharing some fodder for reflection on a rainy day, to start the week..from Nadja Pass and Jan Rasmussen, on display at the DC public library, MLK branch.

Inverted eyesight: Share a story about something that frustrates you about the times we’re living in. Then look in the opposite direction and look what might be emerging. What about this brings you hope?

Roots: share the story of a person you feel deeply connected to, who helped you grow, learn and become who you are. What lessons or memories from them still lift your spirit?

Brutal.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The National Guard is now Trump’s personal strike squad, patrolling civilian areas, armed with military-grade weaponry. This is martial law.

I really don't want to provoke them into ginning anything up, but it is so so so hard to imagine the National Guard here in DC doing anything other than standing around. There'll be like 12 things they get involved with period.

Call you governor today and ask what their plans are for helping people get healthcare after Medicaid cuts take effect. They might not have a plan. If they don’t, tell them maybe they shouldn’t have a job after the next election.
